Her face was all pimply and red,
Though her features were good, and her blue
eyes were bright,

But now, as by magic, plain Nellie has grown
As fair as an artists bright dream:
Her face is as sweet as a flower new-blOwn
Her checks are ike peaches and cream.
As Nellie walks out in the fair morning light
Her beauty attracts every eye,
And as for the people who called her fright
why, Nellie is handsome" they cry.

The Boston Labor Lea,ier takes
too gloomy view of the defeat of
the Worcester shoe men. The abso-
lutte necessity for the continuance of
the organization of labor still exist.
The causes are being intensified
daily, and the mass of wage workers
being slowly brought under the
pressure Of social forces over which
they have no control. The temper
airy success of the "bosses' will be
sure to bring harder conditions, and
these conditions will compel the men
of Worcester to seek higher methods
of relief and protection than those
which brought failure. A year from
now oul contemporary will be in
clincd to smile at the extract which
we quote;
"'rhe Knights are driven back and the
kings are triumphant. The conspiracy
to starve the Worcester county shoe
makers into submission has succeeded.
The union shop must go. Those who
sell their labor have no right to sell

MICHAEL DAViTT.
A Glowing Tribute to the Irish
Patriot.

IalflOl.
JuSiice is sometimes accused, and
perhaps not altogether without
reason, Of making too little allow
ance for opponents and of dealing
rather too harshly with lukcwarm
friends. In the heat of such fight
as we are fighting it is no easy mat
ter to measure phrases. But when
we meet with man who acts up to
the spirit Of Victor llugo's sublime
lines we are proud to be able to give
free vent to our admiration. Such
a man is Michael Davltt, the hero Of
the Irish peasantry, the Iaw-madc
criminal Of the governing classes Of
Great Britain. Look at him now.
After an amount Of success and flat
terry which would have turned the

institutions founded upon them must be
defective. At present all Of our instltn-
tons are founded upon competition;
upon the idea that every man must be in
tensely selfish and have exclusive regard
for his own interest. Our so-called phil
osOphers maintain that this seltishne.s is
absolutely necessary III order 10 stimu-
late every man to Use to the best adVant-
age all his faculties. Socialists deny that
this is SO, but, on the other hand, we
maintain that this seliishness causes the
strong to Cypress and crush down the
weak, ard is the source of an untold
amount Of unnecessary misery. We
teach that it is the duty of every man to
regard the happiness of the community
rather than his own individual happiness
This seems to be the essential principle
the foundation stone Of Socialism,
There is very little difference between
Socialism and the religion taught by
Jesus. Indeed, Socialism is merely "A
practical application of the religion of
Jesus to politics, and many honest priests
and ministers are beginning to find out
that this is the case in spite Of the lies
and the suppresSions Of the truth by the

COOPERATION,

To the H'Orhmen's Adcocate:
am glad our South Norwalk friends
have gone Through the mill' and
satisfied themselves of the utter
futiIity of capturing the democratic
party. Defeat, ruin, and disgrace will
follow such tactics every time it is at
tempted as orr friends in this town have
learned to their cost and those who We're
the most enthusiastic about controlling
"democratic' caucusses year ago will
not in the future take stock in any such
enterprises. think the trouble with our
South Norwalk friends exists in the fact
that they have, in their cooperative
schemes, a modified form Of capitalism,
which has been partially successful
chiefly through the support Of other
workmen, which causes them to be either
blind or Indifferent to social and econOm
ic questions. ] have already said that
while strikes sometimes may be an absO-
lutte necessity, yet they are very expen-
Slve remedy in the nature Of things and
can accomplish no permanent reform; as
long as the competitive wage system eX-
lists there will always exist ample cause
for strikes. There is no efficient remedy
short of cooperation III the production
| and distribution of wealth. Local CO.
operation is only another form of CAPT
talisn. 1t worked well enough as long
as the co operators were employed, but
when they prospered to such an extent
as to draw on the labor market for work
men the same conditions were called into
| existence rs are now in other factories of
that trade, i. E., to employ as cheaply as
they can and get others to do the same
work. The cooperation advocated by
the Socialist is not in the interest of a
few individuals, which in its nature is
selfish, but that of the whole community
and which springs from spirit of fra
ternity coming from the recognition and
appreciation of the universal brotherhood

MI. Bookwalter, OF Ohio, who has been
a good deal abroad, some time ago re-
marked that he thought the intensity and
want of serenity and ~peacefulness in the
American nature was due to its carniv-
orous habits. Said he: II have been
studying for some time the natural his
tory of ANIMALS, and / notice that those
animals which resemble the Americans
in their avidity, their leaping at business
or breakfast in the same way, are the
meat eaters. We are a ~carnivorous PEG
